How to paint a realistic egg with oil paint

In this video I am taking you step-by-step through my process in creating a realistic oil painting of an egg.

When eating this egg for breakfast, i had the feeling it was staring at me. Just had to paint it!

❓If you have any questions or requests, I'd love to read about it in the comments. Please know that my materials are mentioned at the bottom of this text.

🖼️The surface I’m painting on is a small MDF panel by the brand “Muspaneel”. They are very smooth, so I always add a layer of gesso on it with. This creates some extra “tooth” and a lovely texture! After that, I put a thin layer/wash of burnt sienna acrylic paint, just to get the white off.

👨‍🎨The paint I use is a special oil paint (Cobra, from Royal Talens) which you can thin by using water instead of spirits. Other than that, it's the same as regular oil paint.

🖌️ For brushes I use the cobra brand brushes, and for smaller sizes I use Mus brushes.
